Carrion Water.
What will become
of my home I call the sea,
microfibres trickling into
the deep & this water we’re
drinking is turning red so
rapidly.
A few minutes of drips
will last this soil hundreds
of years, don’t you hear
the sound of clocks all
ticking & the future
burning slowly?

Gratulerer og beste ønsker Barbados med 53 års uavhengighet!
Av Stanley Collymore
Happy Independence Day Barbados! Og varme jubler
fra hver Bajan, som er ganske jublende, med rette
og oppriktig utrolig stolt av det du har
flittig og praktfull gjort for alle av oss - dine lojale
borgere – i fortiden, slik du fortsatt er nå gjør
og vil fortsette som før, det er jeg absolutt
sikker på, til kapabel, imponerende,
fordelaktig og fortsett å oppnå
med respect av det untrammeled gode,
individuelt og kommunalt, av alle
Barbadianere; så vel som vår
mest prisverdige, elsket,
Karibisk og...

Lakeside 29/30
And the wind soughing in the trees
Catches in their ears, is sent out
In scouting parties of sensation down their spines.
If you say it became language or it was nothing,
Who touched whom?
In what hurtle of starlight?
Poor language, poor theory
Of language. - Robert Hass
I take out the box, it could be any kind-
a shoebox or a treasure chest, or a room-
and currently the lid is closed. I’m not
here to talk about the cat,
if it’s dead or present. Here I am in life,
opening it and what do you know
but a...

14/25
it’s a strange thought
how time has carried
on, but a pair of blue
eyes, blonde locks &
a honey coated laugh
has been frozen in a
moment—
forever.

Another Loser
They’ll tell you I’m insane
another loser to be swayed
by the wizards of the world
wishing dogma to be word
sorcerers of the first rank
seeking others to entrance
decided by folly’s path
turned from grace at the last
madness is the circumstance
allowance given to illusion’s cast
into the glamour this one steps
wishing sanity to surely last
still the voices will exclaim
lunacy may yet be gained
if the magus has their way
another loser to be swayed.

Sometimes A Breath
Sometimes a breath is enough
to bridge a life beyond the now
even though the way seems barred
by the gulfs that confound
anxiety is the greatest foe
with taint for fear close behind
each has a message that defeats
forward motion one may achieve
whispered advice from the depths
asks for progress to be delayed
turn away from taking air
deep inside the ready lungs
holding stasis even while
a world demands more from time
not realizing the tipping point
has been decided before the plunge.

Sugarcube.
This happens too
much and it happens
too often,
people fall in love with
their own expectations
not the reality of
a human.

asterisk.
turn her
tears into
a dozen
stars,
lay her
upon a
riverbed of
love,
let her
darkness
turn to
dust.

moon swings.
we’ll keep swaying in
hammocks upon the moon
& go to the river that
overflows with milk,
we can push from
this clouded surface
& peel off our earth
invented avatars.
